Abstract: A miniature, full-color display includes two rows of light-emitting elements that are both selected to emit light in substantially non-overlapping wavelength ranges comprising a blue-green wavelength range and a red wavelength range. The light-emitting elements as well as a magnifying lens, and an oscillating mirror are placed in a light-tight box having an opening through which the mirror may be viewed. The light from the blue-green elements is filtered by a filter which transmits either blue or green light depending on the mirror movement. The light-emitting devices are selectively illuminated as the mirror moves to create a full-color, substantially planar, two-dimensional image. The light box may be sized to be hand-held, or may be capable of being mounted to a pair of glasses, a headband or similar device.

Abstract: A miniature full-page video display which mounts at least one row of light-emitting elements such as LEDs, a magnifying lens, and a vibrating mirror in a light-tight box having an opening through which the mirror may be viewed. The LEDs are selectively illuminated at points in the travel of the vibrating mirror, resulting in rows of pixels being projected at selected points on the mirror to provide a two-dimensional image. Two or more rows of light-emitting diodes, each of a different color, may be adjacently mounted and selectively illuminated in a manner such that corresponding LEDs are projected on the same spot on the mirror, resulting in a color image. The light box may be a hand-held device or it may be mounted to glasses, a headband or a similar device, and the virtual image appearing at the mirror may be viewed directly through an opening in the box or through a suitable optical system.

Abstract: A self-erecting highway guide post for insertion in the ground is constructed in the form of a resilient plastic channel having a substantially flat center surface flanked on either side by a pair of flat side portions which are joined at an obtuse angle to the center portion by curved surfaces. A second, arcuately cross-sectioned channel is attached by fasteners through the center portions of each channel to the rear of the first channel. The rear, concave surface of the arcuate channel is directed toward the rear surface of the first channel and lies within its side portions. Such a configuration results in a self-erecting highway guide post when one end is imbedded in the ground to denote the margin of a highway. When the post is struck the curved portions flatten allowing the post to bend when run over by a vehicle and to recurve once the vehicle passes to re-erect the post.
